About Steven
Steven Manfredi trained as a therapist after experiencing personal therapy earlier in life and seeing its benefits. He holds a BACP credential and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Steven aims to make the first steps into counselling easier for people who feel unsure or nervous about seeking help.
He uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client at the heart of each session. That means the conversation follows the issues a person cares about most, rather than fitting people into a predetermined agenda.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening, understanding feelings, and helping people find practical ways forward. Steven works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse. He also supports people facing life changes, career questions, identity and LGBT concerns, ADHD and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
His practice includes additional focus areas such as attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness, and fatherhood issues. In sessions he aims to offer a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about difficult topics. The work is tailored to each person, with attention to building resilience, confidence and clearer self-understanding.
Steven combines mindfulness and solution-focused ideas alongside person-centred counselling to help clients set and reach practical goals. He offers counselling by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging. People can book through the site by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

How his approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person before shaping the work. It helps when someone needs a supportive, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and make sense of their situation.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and improving day-to-day coping skills.
Solution-focused therapy looks at small, practical steps that move a person towards their goals. It is often used alongside other approaches to build short-term plans and track progress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what seems most useful, try approaches in session, and adjust the work based on the person's needs, goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue and shared visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into work breaks. Live chat and text messaging can suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit counselling into their daily lives.
